10 Conspiracy Theories About Weather Modification

Man-made climate change paved the way for American scientists to come up with the idea of weather modification. They reasoned that if daily human activity was already impacting weather patterns, it was acceptable for them to deliberately change the weather for a variety of purposes.

The first meeting about weather modification was held at the end of 1945. At this time, the possibility of using several weather manipulation schemes to America’s advantage during war was discussed. Later, during the Cold War, funds were poured into further research on the topic. This opened the door for using the weather as a secret weapon against enemies. Unfortunately, it also created the opportunity for several people and institutions to use this technology for more sinister purposes. Naturally, this topic is taboo within government organizations, but this hasn’t stopped the theories and even evidence of different “climate engineering events” from popping up all over the Internet.

10Hurricane Sandy Was An Engineered Superstorm

Many believe that Hurricane Sandy was a product of man-made climate change. Then there are those who believe that the storm itself was man-made. The storm was not even over yet when conspiracy theories started flying around. It is said that President Barack Obama engineered the superstorm that slammed into the eastern seaboard just a week before elections were due to take place to ensure his reelection. Proponents of the theory conclude that Obama needed a situation in which he could be the “hero,” helping those in need and ultimately proving he was the best candidate for president.

Conspiracy or not, Hurricane Sandy certainly seemed to help Obama’s presidential bid. He even won over Republican governor Chris Christie, who commented that he “kept every promise he made” when the hurricane struck. Christie declared at a press conference that although he disagreed with the president on principles and policy, he had no regrets working with him, a statement for which the governor received considerable backlash. It fueled rumors of an engineered storm, as it seemed that Obama was out to get even the opposition into his corner.

How would a human even be able to engineer a hurricane? If you believe the theories, it would be possible with the help of The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), a government research arm that studies the upper atmosphere. It is believed that HAARP was instrumental in creating Sandy with electromagnetic waves and its SBX platform. Conspiracy theorists are also convinced that Hurricane Katrina was created and steered by HAARP under the order of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.

Naturally, HAARP denies any involvement.

9The Lynmouth Flood Was Caused By Cloud-Seeding

In 1952, 90 million tons of water swept through Lynmouth, a village in Devon. The disaster claimed the lives of 35 people, and 430 lost their homes. It was deemed an “act of God” and a terrible tragedy. However, rumors began to surface that rainmaking experiments may have been to blame for the excessive flooding. It was estimated that the Lynmouth region received 252 times their usual rainfall during the flooding, and it happened within a week of the rainfall experiments undertaken by the Royal Air Force.

It may seem like a creepy coincidence, but it appears to be just that. Experts noted that while rainmaking experiments did indeed take place, only individual cumulus clouds were injected with iodide or dry ice. This led to accelerated rainfall that lasted only about 20 minutes. Furthermore, the flood was not confined to Lynmouth. Heavy showers were reported all over West and South Wales.

8Operation Popeye

Monsoon season in Vietnam is bad enough without interference from government, but during the Vietnam War, the American government attempted to extend monsoon season by at least 30 days by seeding the clouds over the area with silver and lead iodide. This top secret campaign was known as Operation Popeye and ran from 1967–1972. It allegedly focused on increasing rainfall over the resupply routes in the area, particularly the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

The plan was kept under wraps until 1971, when a reporter uncovered a memo secretly sent to President Johnson. The memo contained the following message: “Laos operations—Continue as at present plus Pop Eye to reduce the trafficability [sic] along infiltration routes & Authorization requested to implement operational phase of weather modification process previously successful tested and evaluated in some area.”

The reporter, Jack Anderson, wasted no time in bringing this information to the public. This ultimately led to the proposal of a treaty between the US and other governments to prohibit the use of weather modification technology during wartime. The ENMOD (Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques) was signed in 1976 by a host of UN members, ensuring that all forms of weather manipulation are only used for peaceable means.

7Yellow Rain

The Hmong people sided with the US during the Vietnam War. This was not taken lightly by the countries of Vietnam and Laos, who declared a different kind of war on the Hmong tribes: chemical warfare. Witnesses described seeing yellow-colored rain falling from the sky that had an oily texture and seemed to cling to whatever it landed on. Others reported seeing helicopters flying low over the land and spraying the oily liquid over the area.

It seemed that the “yellow rain” had some form of acid in it. Many who came into contact with it claimed to have had seizures, and others even alleged that it blinded them permanently. When Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1978, similar statements were made by the Cambodian people.

Interestingly enough, it seems that experts have now concluded that yellow rain was, in fact, the feces of honeybees, making all of the above just an elaborate conspiracy theory. It was also concluded that the toxins found in the yellow rain were naturally produced by fungi in the bee feces.

6The California Drought Was Caused By Geo-Engineering

In May 2013, a state of drought was declared in California that persisted throughout the rest of the year, the state’s driest year to date. In December, a massive wildfire broke out near Big Sur, thought to have been spurred by the dry spell. More than 900 acres of land were destroyed in the blaze. The drought continued into 2014.

The logical explanation given by scientists was that the drought was the result of global warming, man-made climate change, or both. Conspiracy theorists are not buying it, though. They are convinced that geo-engineering is to blame for the drought. According to theorists, geo-engineers have cut the rainfall in California with the continuous spraying of aerosols and use of ionosphere heating. By turning California into a desert, its citizens will be at the mercy of the government to supply food they can no longer provide for themselves, leaving the government in total control of the population.

Proponents of the theory are even going as far as to say that there is no natural weather anymore. They believe that continued geo-engineering has caused the planet’s natural climate system to stop functioning. Now, the geo-engineers are simply making up weather patterns as they go along, hurtling America into a state of weather warfare.

5Solar Radiation Management

Solar radiation management (SRM) is a group of methods to reduce radiation from the sun in the environment by spraying radiation-reflecting chemicals into the atmosphere. The Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued statements regarding the importance of SRM in fending off global warming, but conspiracy theorists are far from convinced. These statements are merely an attempt to placate the population while using this form of weather modification for sinister purposes, they insist.

4Operation Stormfury

Operation Stormfury was conceived for a noble purpose, or so it seemed. The project was meant to reduce the damage caused by hurricanes by reducing their wind speed. The operation ran from 1962–1983 and involved creating artificial convection just outside the eye of the storm with silver iodide seeding. The iodide created a new eye wall, which would close the original eye of the storm, reducing its intensity. This process was tested with four hurricanes and showed promising results. At one point, hurricane wind speed was reduced by up to 30 percent.

However, the results of the operation have been called into question. It was proven that unmodified hurricanes didn’t contain enough supercooled water for cloud seeding to have the desired effect. Critics concluded that the original results of modification couldn’t be trusted, as no positive differentiation was made between modified hurricanes and natural ones.

Conspiracy theories abound that the US military simply wanted to see if they could control hurricanes to their advantage. Under the guise of “wanting to increase protection and lessen damage caused by these storms,” the military could experiment to their hearts’ content.

3Europe Is ‘Stealing Rain’ From Iran

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is convinced that Europe is using special technology to drain rain clouds over Iran and cause it to rain over Europe instead. He accused Western countries of conspiring to cause droughts in marked areas, including Iran. Ironically, just after he made this statement during an inauguration ceremony, it started raining.

Ahmadinejad is known to be a conspiracy theorist, and many regard him as a lunatic. However, considering all the other theories about weather modification, his claims don’t seem that far-fetched. He went on to claim that an unidentified politician predicted in an article that there would be droughts in Iran, Turkey, and surrounding areas for the next 30 years. Most have brushed him off as a rambling maniac, but what if there is some truth to his words?

2Chemtrails

If you were to believe various conspiracy theories, airplane contrails that disperse slowly are actually what’s known as “chemtrails.” Rather than harmless vapor, chemtrails are said to be chemicals sprayed into the atmosphere by government institutions.

Widespread suspicion about chemtrails really took off in the ’90s, after the US Air Force published a paper about their research on weather modification. When cloud-seeding was used at the Beijing Olympic Games as an effort to reduce the terrible air pollution problem, conspiracy has it that its real purpose was to get rid of threatening rain clouds before the games began. Other popular theories include weather modification being used to control the population, curb global warming, and divert public attention from the testing of military weapons.

Governments are sticking to their guns on the topic on chemtrails. They insist that all visible vapor lines in the air are just contrails, no matter how long it takes to disperse. The worst thing about the chemtrails conspiracy is that it distracts from the real danger of contrails caused by aircraft, which is that they may contribute to global warming.

1HAARP

At the center of most weather modification conspiracies is the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP). This military research organization is thought to be a secret weapon in weather modification schemes. Considering that HAARP really does exist and its purpose really does include weather-related research, it has become difficult to separate the conspiracy from what could be the truth.

A CBC documentary probably said it best with this quote: “It isn’t just conspiracy theorists who are concerned about HAARP. In January of 1999, the European Union called the project a global concern and passed a resolution calling for more information on its health and environmental risks. Despite those concerns, officials at HAARP insist the project is nothing more sinister than a radio science research facility.”

Naturally, HAARP itself denies any sinister agenda, but that doesn’t make them any less suspicious when it comes to weather warfare conspiracies. Even the appearance of its Alaska facility gives way to conspiracy theories. Outside is a mass of antennae that forms a geometric pattern, and barbed wire ensures that the public doesn’t get to see any further than this bizarre spectacle. The antennae are even the subject of their own conspiracy theory: Some believe they could be responsible for earthquakes such as the massive 8.9 quake that struck Japan in 2011. It is thought that focusing the antennae on a specific point in the ionosphere long enough can cause it to pull away and then snap back into place with so much force that it can cause earthquakes.

HAARP has been blamed for Hurricanes Katrina, Sandy, Wilma, and Rita. It has even been said that the organization is actively practicing mind control on American citizens with shortwave radio signals.

I’m a wannabe fiction writer who has a fascination with all things creepy and spooky.

9. lots of rain = lots of water. i’ve been raised on the whole “it rains alot in the UK” stuff so i’m not shocked this happens.

8. also not surprised. what didn’t we do in vietnam?

7. sounds more like they got chemicals from the US and used them on cambodians/citizens. that would be a viable reason to bullshit a counterstory and say it was bee feces.

6. uh huh.

5. fuckin’ nope.

4. this one gets written off because the results don’t have a control group? not so sure about that. if it might help with reducing a hurricane, it should be treated as promising and tested some more. never know.

3. who’s the top holocaust denier, nationally? yep. iran. so, what nation is also the biggest liar about the amount of rainforest it has? yep. you’re on the right track.

2. either way they’re problematic. i think we’d all (conspiracy nuts and regular, stable people) be better off without them.

1. creepy as hell, and quite possibly doing something shady. i don’t like haarp, and i don’t trust their motives. when it comes to weather control, i’m on the fence, but any government property heavily guarded and being questioned by the EU should be treated with scrutiny.

i was there. it pretty much annihilated vermont’s roadways. i know what it did — but again that’s because vermont isn’t used to dealing with a hurricane. neither is new jersey, or new york, or pennsy, or any other north eastern/mid atlantic state.

Here on Guam, it’s the same. After Typhoon Pongsonga (no, it doesn’t sound like it’s spelled) hit us, FEMA arrived for support. They had just come from a place that was hit by a Hurricane and were still bummed from the destruction. They had seen weeping people who lost their homes, dazed individuals staring at the destruction, and overall negative talk of depression and sorrow. When they arrived here on Guam, they were surprised to see people Barbecuing and laughing right next to their crushed homes, people busy with going to work and cheerfully wishing each other a good day as they drive around fallen debris and foliage, and in typical island fashion, the FEMA guests were invited to fiestas and celebrations to welcome them and thank them for the help. It really makes a difference when you’re hit often by such storms, you tend to be more prepared and have a better attitude before and after the incident. Most houses here are concrete and have typhoon shudders built in. It’s almost unheard of not to be ready for such destructive winds.

From a fellow islander, I agree with you. Things begin to get shady though when the first news van arrives. The media would often goad the person/s interviewed to describe how terrible it was, but often those interviewed would say “hey it could’ve been worse” and such. Guess what part makes it on the air.

That’s exactly what I thought. I’m from Houston; I was raised on Hurricanes. Everyone knows what to do when a hurricane’s on its way, but in New York and all that, they have no idea. It would be like if a blizzard suddenly came to Houston.

do a] whts a superstorm then? and b] bullghit you live here. you over twelve million popl lost everything they owned, INCLUDING homes, car, bank accounts, etc. if you didnt lose a house, or a car, then you didnt live through it. you may have lived right at the edge where it brely touched you. and to say the northeast [nor’east…] isnt used to storms makes you the mot retarded person on the internet today. nice

oh shut up. i don’t owe any jackass online an explanation for what i do or put up with and you’re damn right i lived through it and no, that doesn’t have to be according to you. idiot. how dare you question someone just because you don’t know them personally?

And being questioned by the E.U . Why would that matter have you seen the president of the E.U he looks like Gollum . Haarp is base on Nikola Tesla research and Tesla talk a lot about the Ionosphere and how it could be manipulated and when i comes to the military they can’t be trusted to tell the truth .

California, at least the majority of it, is a desert. It has always been a desert. Sure, this particular drought is getting severe (my town has instituted water rationing, 49 gallons per person per day because, unless a new supply of water is found and brought online, we’ll run out of potable water by summer’s end) but it’s certainly not caused by deliberate weather manipulation.

I didn’t know any of this!!!! I knew that people have been theoretically messing about with weather for years and guessed that it was possible, but never dreamed that anyone would. This list has really rattled my cage.

ya know this list has actually done a fair job of making the issue even more murky. i don’t mean to suggest it outright definitively proved anything is possible here but some of these entries mention that success was achieved on some level, and if it’s done on a small scale you can assume that it would be possible on a larger scale. so…i mean oddly enough i’m coming away from this thinking for once the conspiracy nuts might be onto something.

And people have people to meet people to meet people to meet other people to meet Former Philippine First Lady and professional shoe fetishist Imelda Marcos to take over Vietnam.

John McCain has people, too, but he still looks like he was only recently dug out of a shallow grave.

Do you even know how hard it is to raise children? Do you know how hard it is to be Benson from Regular Show? Do you know why even after vacations in Bali, COO’s of small-time businesses are still physical and mental wrecks?

The problem with Geo-Engineering (DWM) storms as weapons is that it only works about 15% of the time. Roughly half the time, the storm seeds fail. When the seeds actually ‘take root’, most of the time it results in less than stellar storms or minor squalls. And they are totally unpredictable. An engineered storm can actually reverse course and threaten your own assets. However, about 15% of the time, as stated before, they do exactly what you’d expect. They cause havoc on the target.

The scariest thing is that this technology can be implemented for less than $5,000,000 a pop. The wealthy can use it to bury competition. Politicians can use it to cause damages and be compensated richly through Federal relief. For example, three attempts at Hurricane Sandy would cost $15,000,000. But return over $50,000,000 in relief funds from the gov’t.

The first and second halves of your comment seem to contradict each other.

“most of the time it results in less than stellar storms or minor squalls.”

The majority of something combined with 15% makes for a very minute chance of a hurricane with the scale of Sandy ever happening in fewer than 10 tries. Not to mention, the relief money doesn’t just disappear into someones pocket, it is spent on rebuilding and reestablishing people’s lives.

Sorry – I was just kidding around. I totally pulled that whole DWM stuff out of my butt during breakfast. I agree, it kinda fell apart at the last paragraph when I failed with the numbers. My plot was starting to get a little megalomaniac-ish.

Though, I do live near an Air Force base. The weather has a weird knack of going around the AFB. We joke that the gov’t manipulates the weather to make it easier for planes to take off and land. Now, if you put such a device on Naval Carriers, they could also manipulate the weather around them. Could give them an advantage having the bad weather traverse right around them.

I’m kinda on the fence regarding these conspiracy theories. maybe countered by what I’ve read about conmen rainmakers, dowsing rods, and such. And yet the Hatfield brothers are also interesting fellas.

Really thought Woodstock would have appeared here. The “seeding” of the clouds to stop the hippies from having a party. That one cracks me up. Well…people will believe in anything. Just make it sound interesting enought and throw in a bit of loose scientific data and whamo! Conspiracy theory here we come!

The CIA started the Deadheads ’cause the CIA hated hippies and they were like, “fuck you, hippies; deal with these assholes!” Pardon the French; it was used to relate the facts. I met some old guys who were there. They think it’s funny ’cause they were deadheads, and nobody believes the hippies about how it went down.

The thing about HAARP is that you know the government is lying because they always lie about everything. We’ll probably never know what the project actually does but it’s certainly not what they say it is.

Well, we know it is a transmitter of electromagnetic radiation ranging from radio-frequencies to microwave frequencies. If all the information about the transmitted signal can be analyzed, the likely result can be deduced. There’s, like, 20 (I can’t remember) HAARP-like facilities around the planet. They’re run by several nations. The only thing that makes HAARP special is the ability to play any permutation of frequencies and to sweep through the frequencies. There’s a website I love called websdr.org. The first radio is the best one. I’m pretty sure those signals going up through the RF spectrum are HAARP being picked up from the Netherlands. There’s also a similar facility in Norway though, so it could be that one. I hope it’s some kid next door with a Yamaha DX7; that would be hilarious.

And the other thing that makes HAARP special its the ability to make people who live in their mom’s basement and eat junk food and live on the interent and play computer game get their undie wadded up in a bunch. That is a very important part of it’s primary function.

This is one of these lists where I’m not sure what to think. I certainly don’t believe in global warming but am not sure about this HAARP deal. While it seems probably that they (whoever “they” are) can possibly stir up some rain or whatever, it seems highly unlikely that they could focus and direct that much power to a certain region. Who knows.

Speaking of conspiracy theories the other day my friends mom found a little star pin. I knew exactly what it was; Order of the Eastern Star, sort of the female branch of the Freemasons. I didn’t use to care about that stuff until a friend who claimed Masonic heritage pulled some black magic stunt that landed us both in the hospital- literally. They kinda freaked me out until I got into Manly P. Hall. Anyway, she showed it to me the other day. Then today they had a Masonic question on Jeopardy, and not ten minutes later my mom came home with some old book (she always gets old books at the thrift store). It’s actually a Masonic ritual book. Inside it says it is the property of someone in the Order of the Eastern Star. My friend’s mom gave said she will give me the pin. I think I shall turn in the items respectfully to the local Masonic lodge and put my days of research into such matters behind me (that’s why I’m Daathsurfer, not Daathcosmonaut.. I just remembered something even crazier; this morning before work I was listening to an old mix-tape of Psychic TV and similar stuff; something came on that at first I could swear was me messing around on some keyboards and loops last night. I was tripping ’cause I didn’t record anything last night. I finally deduced it was the Tear Garden, who are pretty heavy occultists. The singer said something like, “where are you going dressed up like a burglar?”, or something like that. I was thinking at the time it could be because I learned of things I shouldn’t know or something. I had this crazy déjà vu; it’s like I’m supposed to avoid a particular series of events, or this terrible thing happens every time. Oh, that might give some people the creeps but I live for that shit. That’s the only reason I have to be an optimist; I’d really lose my mind if I didn’t see it as an opportunity to create something better.

on the topic of #2, I learned something very interesting recently based on fact and not weird speculation (I don’t believe in chemtrails).

After 9/11, the U.S.A froze all air traffic. With hundreds of planes which are usually in flight forcefully grounded for long periods of time, the average global temperate increased approximately 3-5 degrees during this short time. It is actually believe the vapor left by these planes actually COOLS the planet by coating the skies with additional ‘cloud coverage’ which reduced heating by sunlight.

I have been reading List verse for some time now, and I would like to say that I enjoy the comments as much as the articles. It is refreshing to see light hearted banter instead of ugliness and hatefulness. It is a wonderful distraction from my incredibly boring and non-productive life! ;)

I am married to a research meteorologist at a major research university. There is NO good reliable evidence that climate change is man made. In fact a very good deal of the hue and cry is quite political: a competition for government funded research dollars and a clever ploy to pick your pocket.

There are just far too many variables whose activities concerning weather we have no clue about. It is amazing that people think they are just so central to the survival of the earth that they think a. that they can control the weather, b. that is MUST be Man who is responsible for climate change, c. that people forget that creatures like insects have WAY more of an impact on climate than we do, and d. That people think that climate change is somehow ‘unnatural’ and therefore bad. Climate change is the most natural thing on the planet. It’s happened whether there are people here or not. For all of you guiltily panicking about your carbon footprint, stop. Think about whether this might be the Earth ridding itself of us, since we are such ‘awful planetary citizens’.

Well, I don’t believe climate change is man made either. I remember my 4th grade teacher, a hippy (he wore GD shirts and was a virtuoso of Chinese devil sticks), telling us that one volcano usually puts out more greenhouse gasses than all of humanity throughout history. However, I’m pretty sure the manipulation of weather as isolated short term phenomenon is well within our capabilities as a species. I think most people shut off at the idea ’cause it unsettles them at a primal level. I had that reaction at first, but have come to appreciate the beautiful latticework work ELF waves produce in our cloud patterns. It’s something I used to see everyday and just accepted as natural. Now I see them as an extra-natural product of the process of evolution.

Yes, the earth experiences natural warming and cooling because of what you said: volcanic activity and our sun’s various periods of warming. these phenomenon are well-studied. However, if you will look at the effect of human activity (in the form of greenhouse gases) in the last century alone or even fifty years, human activity managed to raise mean global temperature by 1 to 1.4 degree Celsius

Oh, please, prove to me that human activity can be shown to have accomplished this, and not causes unrelated to human activity. And make sure it is not funded by a government agency that wants to find another reason to pick pockets. These statistics are quite humorous when viewed without an agenda.

I’m just not 100% on the warming part being due to us, but my pet theory doesn’t exactly make for much of an argument against the scientific consensus. As for the prevalence of other kinds of pollution and radiation, the institutionalized suffering and the and avoidable tragedies of the War for Oil and the War on Drugs; definitely the result of human activity. Unfortunately, or fortunately, things can’t go on like this much longer. I have a strong belief in the power of intention, especially the intention of humanity. Humanity has never been in power, but it want’s to be. We must learn to use our hidden mind; most people don’t know even their own capabilities.

Is that your husband’s opinion that you somehow adopted as yours or is that your own opinion? Either way, I would say that denying that human activity never impacted climate change is intellectually dishonest, especially if this assertion is made by your husband since he is supposed to be in the scientific field.

Did I say Man NEVER impacted climate change? Every organism impacts the Earth. I am saying that climate change is Nature. Humans are a part of Nature. But not enough attention is given to other biological factors that have little to do with us. And then there are factors which we have not discovered yet.

It is a bit irritating to argue with people whose human-centric minds cannot grasp the powerlessness and insignificance of our species with regard to rest of the cosmos. Really.

human-centric? hardly. but will not underestimate man and his capacity to affect his environment. funny but i see a lot of memes floating around that reflect your geo-centric mush.

also, you may not have said NEVER, but you said “There is NO good reliable evidence that climate change is man made” which is grossly false, plus you prefaced your statement with your being married to a meteorological researcher, which you used in your attempt to cloak your entire statement with legitimacy.

I vote we all donate the tin foil in our kitchen cabinets to the well-meaning but mentally unstable people who need new hats. I do find them entertaining, even as I wish they would devote all that energy to understanding science and math instead.

Some people cannot handle the fact that a black US citizen was elected to the Office of the Presidency twice by sizable majority and will concoct anything to salve their puny brains from the cognitive dissonance of racism. I can’t wait to see what they come up with when President Hillary Clinton takes the Oath of Office. ;-)

“chemtrails” should always be printed inside quote marks. Since they are just water vapor and other claims are simply science fiction. So the correct spelling is always “chemtrails” and anyone talking about them seriously are properly called raving lunatics.

Still on the subject of contrails, when all air traffic was grounded in September 2001 after the Islamist attacks on New York City and Washington DC, the temperature in the US measurably increased with the absence of contrails so how would this reconcile with the idea that they contribute to global WARMING? It seems to be the opposite.

well natural disasters are because of the way we treated the planet…i do the same thing…if i was treated badly…i always return the favour….bigtime…..but i must admit when i can see some things dont change…i just change direction…i can do that…but mother nature adresses the problem in an ongoing way…in a direct way….i am mostly totally on my knees when i call mother nature god….that is god

wish you had taken the chemtrails a step further…here are 73 articles from Oxford university, explaining geoengineering & solar radiation management…Oxford was against it, until they got a 1.3 million grant to study effects of climate change & solutions…now they have an entire geoengineering program-Stratospheric aerosol particles and solar-radiation management The deliberate injection of particles into the stratosphere has been suggested as a possible geoengineering scheme to mitigate the global warming aspect of climate change….http://www.geoengineering.ox.ac.uk/geolibrary/index/reference/?tag_1=Stratospheric+Aerosols

I definitely believe that the tsunami of 2004 was man made. Something underwater was blown up (its confused with an earthquake) and tons and tons of water exploded onto land. Truthfully, it would take an earthquake of epic proportions to cause that tsunami. The whole world would have felt it.
